13. Manchin. "Huge win" for the Democrats, says Wolf Blitzer, about the hot West Virginia race.

14. The GOP takes the House. It's outside of the margin of error, says NBC. Pelosi is gone. Ding dong. [UPDATE: Now MSNBC is calling that "a mistake." MSNBC is awful.]

15. NBC says Wisconsin is "too close to call," as the polls close.

16. Rand Paul victory speech: "I have a message! A message from the people of Kentucky! A message that is loud and clear and does not mince words! We've come to take our government back!"

17. MSNBC is hilarious. They're near meltdown. Rand Paul will destroy America. The Republicans "salivate at the thought" of worldwide economic collapse.

18. O'Donnell conceding. Very cheerful. Chirpy. I listened to Marco Rubio's victory speech a few minutes ago, which was, by contrast, very mellow.

19. Scott Walker has, it seems, won the Governorship here in Wisconsin. That's supposed to mean — that must mean — no to the high-speed train boondoggle. Also in Wisconsin, Russ Feingold is way behind.

20. Feingold has lost, quite decisively. I'm sorry to see him go. He's a good man. But I should admit that I voted against him. I had to vote for the Party of No.

23. I just thought that was amusing, the way YouTube inserted my face into the Fox News. By the way, did you notice, at the end of the clip, when Geraldine said she wanted to go on "Dancing with the Stars," Sarah said "I'll hook you up"?

24. John Boehner tears up talking about American values, which he's chased all his life. Then, talking about his business, he sobs. Keep it together, Boehnsy!

25. That got a little... weird. I hope Boehnsy is ready to lead. Anyway, here in Dane County, Feingold's campaign manager George Aldrich is not giving up: "Russ is down by 80,000 votes, but...up to 1.4 million votes haven’t been counted." None of the Madison votes were in when he said that: "We are confident that this race is going to tighten, it is going to tighten quickly, and we may be in for a long night here."

Quoting Bob Dylan, he said, "My heart is not weary, it's light and free, and I've got nothing but affection for those who have sailed with me."

It is not clear what he will do next, but Mr. Feingold, 57, told the crowd: "It's on to the next fight, it's on to the next battle, it's on to 2012 and it is on to our next adventure, forward." He raised his fist in the air and left the stage.

28. Karl Rove exclaims that he's "exhausted." I was just saying he looked tired.

29. Speaking of tired, it's interesting that Harry Reid will be sticking around. There's something so dreary about him. Does his victory cheer Democrats? Or would they have had more fun kicking Sharron Angle around?

The times they are a changing, fast. From now on "snow Machines" are not sidewalk clearing blowers but racers. Old Bastards are no longer words of vulgarity but of political boasting. And America's Politico may soon be hired to ghostwrite Refudiating comments on Daily Kos for the Palin Campaign.

No, I think Garage is on to something. The Democrats should be left in power no matter what the damage to the country. To do otherwise is to reward violence against women. If you vote Republican, then you're a misogynistic head stomper.

And we'll take out Republicans just as quickly as we take out Democrats.

Americans are serving notice:

* We want our fucking taxes cut* We want government salaries slashed* We want government employees forced to use Social Security (including Congress).* We want government pensions eliminated* We want government bonuses ceased* We want non-essential spending on the Arts/NPR and other bullshit research like global warming at colleges stopped until unemployment returns to normal levels.* Don't touch Social Security (we paid for that out of our paychecks).* Don't touch Medicare (we paid for that out of our paychecks).* ObamaCare must be repealed in its entirety.* GM is to be returned to private hands and its former owners made whole. Chrysler too.* Banks must repay all bailout funds.

And that's just to start. New Republican Congressional committees must immediately launch investigations of the Department of Justice and of Barack Obama.

Barack Obama committed felony crimes in his efforts to pass ObamaCare and it is time for the Congress to begin fundamental oversight of the Executive Branch by empanelling Grand Juries and forcing testimony.

The following meme is already developing in the MSM: newly minted Republicans must find the middle ground!..reach across the aisle!..govern responsibly!..in a bipartisan manner!..why hell, be good Democrats!

I tried watching PMSNBC for a few minutes, had to change the channel; I found them all to be loathesome. All about Republican purges and their glorious victory over Christine O'Donnell. Hope they enjoyed it. It's gonna be one of the few races that go their way tonight.

Calling the race so early just makes me crazy. It is only 5:30 right now and they had it up since about 3:30 and the polls don't close for another 2 1/2 hours. Even after that it takes some time to get the ballots down to the county seat and be tabulated.

As it should be. Any Senator attaching their name to laws designed to strip Americans of their God-given right of free speech deserve to have their asses kicked out of the United States Senate.

Russ Feingold is an embarrassment to the nation and everything our founding fathers died for and our grandfathers fought for. The Supreme Court had to step in and stop him from abusing the very document he swore an oath to protect and to serve.

The people of Wisconsin have strengthened their nation today and they should be proud that they stepped up and did the right thing and gave that douche-bag a pink slip.

Conservatives already "took out" Republicans in 2006 and 2008. The misbehavior of Republican politicians so demoralized conservatives that they stayed home in droves, or even made protest votes. The result was a lopsided battle, with a motivated Democrat base and a hollowed out Republican base. But it also demonstrated, at least to those who paid attention: conservative numbers matter.

Then in 2009, they started to see the results of dropping out. Yes, they punished the RINOs, but they empowered the Obamas and Pelosis and Reids, thus punishing themselves as well.

And with the right inspirations and motivations, they realized that dropping out was not an effective mode of protesting. Instead of dropping out, they dropped in, organizing and participating at record levels of enthusiasm.

And tonight we see the results.

The question now is: do they become sated by the victory? Or do they recognize that this is an eternal vigiliance campaign, and they have to stay just as watchful now as they have for the last 18 months?

The conservatives already unseated Republicans passively -- and in primaries this year, they unseated several actively. If they can manage to stay vigilant, they can have a serious influence on 2012 and beyond. If instead they say, "We did our job, we're done," then 2010 will be a blip, and the Democrats will regain their ground in 2012.

When you vote to force Americans to buy insurance products from your campaign donors, you can expect the American people to fire your ass. That's the lesson Blanche Lincoln should take away from today.

Blanche Lincoln sold out her constituents because she sold her soul. She forgot who sent her to Washington DC and it wasn't that fucking Geico Gecko.

It was American voters.

And we will not be forced into slavery by being forced to purchase things.

ObamaCare must now be repealed in its entirety. And if Republicans can't manage that feat, then the Tea Party will gladly take up the mantle of power.

Watching MSNBC talk about the Arkansas Senate Race. They think the reason Blanche lost is because of the primary challenge and she got challenged in the primary because she wasn’t liberal enough! Hahahahahahahaah!!! I guess they didn’t call anybody in Arkansas first. Hee!!!

Basically everything they've said about Arkansas has gotten it wrong. Fun.

Going to vote now. Voting in California can be depressing for a conservative, but tonight I'm just going to consider myself the smartest guy in the room. Kinda like channeling my inner Libertarian. Be back to the party in a jiffy.

David, I can give you an answer why Californian's may re-elect Barbara Boxhead. Primarily, it's because the freeloaders and pension hungry union pukes outnumber the rest of us who have to work our asses off just to pay the bills for the rest of them. We're outnumbered, pure and simple. And when the "gimme's" outnumber the "get it myselfs" you get Boxhead.

I've said it before. She was so offended by the General referring to her as "Ma'am" because she doesn't believe in truth in advertising. The word "ma'am" is a contraction of "madam", and considering the whorehouse that the U.S. Senate is, I think the title for Boxhead is entirely appropriate. She just found the shots from the General a little too close to home.

Like my late grandpa used to say, "Son, it doesn't take all kinds, we just HAVE all kinds."

Dear Florida,You've already given America the forced retirement of subhuman monster Allan Grayson and the start of the national career of future president Marco Rubio. As a token of gratitude, we'll forgive you for Ed Hardy t-shirts.

If you give us Allen West as well, we will forgive you for your massive role in the mortgage crisis.

Give us Rick Scott and we'll forgive you for all the fanny packs in the Orlando airport.

Manchin is a good guy, and West Virginians approved of him by a very large majority all through the race. It was only by running hard AGAINST the current Administration and Congress that he pulled it out.

Obviously good for the Democrats, but Obama and the Senate Democrats shouldn't expect him to be a "yes" man. I think Manchin has long-term aspirations for the top job, and it wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't make a good run at it.

We're seeing 50.36% turnout in the City of Chicago from the first 919 precincts of the City's 2,570 precincts that now have unofficial totals. The unofficial totals we report tonight represent Election Day voting, Early Voting, Grace Period Voting and Absentee ballots received through Saturday. Absentee ballots received more recently (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) will be added in supplemental counts to be conducted later this week.By the time later-arriving absentee ballots, provisionals and other ballots arrive and are counted, the City turnout number is likely to move closer to 51-52%.

Both Brown and Boxer went almost exclusively negative the last few weeks, and Fiorina was especially thrashed by former HP employees talking about how she cut jobs and shipped jobs overseas.

Unfortunately, it didn't quite connect that the reason California has such a negative jobs situation is because of almost complete Democratic domination, and now I think it is complete. This isn't just a partisan distinction. Because of being a non-competitive state all manner of all the wrong sorts of any party get in and stay in.

I'm a sixth generation Californian. But, I just don't see any positive benefit for staying here anymore. Far too expensive cost of living, far too high taxes, out of control and overly established, gerrymandered secured legislature. Celebrate America, mourn for us.

Of course, now that America's Politico's life is over wherever he lives, I think he might be one of the few to make a successful life for himself here.

Now the PMSNBC'ers are having to listen to Marco Rubio. I wonder how much their panel's blood pressure went up collectively as they listened to his speech? Olbie's head looks like it's about to explode.

I think it's telling that the media outlets are just discovering that the Tea Party is a hydra with no clear head, though it has figures that would speak for it. Months of insulting "tea bagging" are giving way to 40% support by voters, and the media is caught looking at the pitch.

Since I couldn't remember if Sestak is a (D) or an (R), I googled him. Some headlines: CNN Exit Poll: Pat Toomey Beats Joe Sestak In Pennsylvania Senate ....Toomey predicts big win in Pennsylvania...etc.

I'm so surprised that Christine O'Donnell didn't win. Perhaps if Althouse had only mounted a more strident case for this fine woman, witchcraft, rather than Marxism would mark the U.S. Senate. But no, Althouse had to decide to throw her under the bus.

It's too bad Vitter won, by the way. Just what the Senate doesn't need: A nakedly hypocritical lawmaker. Well, the people of Louisiana have spoken. Or maybe the Democratic Party of Louisiana picked a dud to run against him.

Ah, let's not weep for America's Politico too soon. McMahon lost, a disappointment but not a surprise, and Manchin has won, which is also a disappointment but not a surprise. But Kirk is running behind and Toomey and Buck are getting walloped, despite pre-election polls that had shown all three with slight leads in the final polls. He could be right on as far as the Senate is concerned.

I'm still expecting a 70 seat pickup for Republicans in the House, and Lollar is still hanging onto a lead over Steny Hoyer, but things do not look good for the Senate.

Tom Perriello has lost in VA-5. This was a guy Obama had personally campaigned for. Also looks like VA-11 has gone Republican for the first time since Noah built the Ark. It's in the southwestern corner of the state, which is coal-mining country. Apparently the Democrat incumbent thought he could explain his vote for Cap & Trade.

All over the country, idiot. Your side fell for the oldest play in the book - you turned these women into a lightning rod that shocked every Dem candidate in America. Thanks!

Which woman did I ever discuss apart from Palin and O'Donnell? Fiorina won't win California. Hatred of women at play in that one? Blanche Lincoln loses Arkansas? Hatred of women, again? Meg Whitman? Linda McMahon? What the hell are you yammering on about?

O'Donnell is a wacko/goofball with serious integrity problems and whether you think that somehow has anything to do with her being a woman says more about you, really.

Hey. You assholes ran her and lost the Senate because of it. Thanks for the smooth move. I'm glad you enjoyed her loss and your party's inability to capture the other house because of it. Certainly you're not a retard, of course. Brilliant.

O'Donnell concedes, that's one less pussy to gnaw at PinchingLoaf's worried brain tonight... Phew! Those pussies are so damned scary!

What am I worried about? I've long stated that it's unhealthy for there to be single-party rule. I'm in favor of gridlock and checks and balances. Not sure why that should mean I'm supposed to pretend that Christine O'Donnell isn't an idiot and a bigot. And, btw, she damaged the GOP's attempt to take the Senate.

I actually voted for Republican Rob Portman today in Ohio. Portman's totally second rate, but his opponent, Lee Fisher, was worse. Moreover, I prefer to have one senator from each party for my state. Not sure why Althouse was making a big deal out of Portman winning. It was a seat already held by the Republicans.

It doesn't seem that anything too surprising is happening in Ohio today. I would've liked to see Dennis Kucinich lose as InstaPundit was saying might happen, since he's helped wreck my city over the course of my life. But, apparently the GOP momentum just wasn't big enough to pull it off.

In the other hotly contested House seat in Northeastern Ohio, crooked Republican car salesman Tom Ganley is getting his ass kicked. I guess it didn't help that a woman he met at a Tea Party rally made sexual assault charges against him. Be careful at those Tea Party events!
